WRITER IN THE MAKING

6/5 & 6/6 - Lately Ethan has developed a real interest in writing and coloring on papers. He's very meticulous and takes a lot of time to draw lines etc. it's so cute. He's been the same with books - he'll open my scriptures or the hymn books at church and follow the words & music very carefully with his finger as though he's reading. As you'll note from the pictures, we're all trying to figure out whether he'll be a righty or a lefty -he still uses both almost equally.

Sunday at church, Ethan was standing next to our Bishop's wife during RS class and she handed him a pen and opened her planner to a page where he could draw...she didn't however click the pen up because she was afraid that he might draw on himself. He looked at her and smiled and then turned the pen over and clicked the pen up and down and up and down. He hadn't ever done that before and I'm not sure where he learned it, but Sister Lewis and I both had a good laugh.

This afternoon, I was trying to fold laundry (which clearly didn't go as planned) and after Ethan removed everything that I had folded from the basket, he crawled in and filled the space around him with books. He sat in there "reading" and laughing for quite some time. As it turned out, it was much more entertaining than doing laundry.
